Four years ago she was beaten and bitter, and now she’s practically a shoo-in for 2016. GOP contenders, take note

Newt Gingrich’s declaration this week that “the Republican party today is incapable of competing” against Hillary Clinton should she run for president is, most of all, a statement about Newt Gingrich. That he made the pronouncement on NBC’s Meet the Press was an indication of just how adrift his party is.

The line is a testament to his genius for self-promotion and his ability to attach himself to prevailing winds. I’ve always presumed that Gingrich would be an excellent ambassador to his predicted lunar colony primarily because he only needs publicity, not oxygen, to breathe.

But what does the quote say about Hillary Clinton? Not as much as progressives might hope. Post-giddiness has given way to an atmosphere among Democrats that magnifies all signs of Republican collapse, from the would-be “banishment” of Karl Rove at Fox to the diminishment of Grover Norquist. To be sure, the GOP is struggling with both identity and popularity at the moment, but the operative concept in Gingrich’s formulation isn’t either party but “today”.

Today, the GOP is incapable of beating Hillary, but that doesn’t really matter. Besides, she’s been inevitable before. Indeed, James Carville’s quip on the show – that Democrats “don’t need a primary. Let’s just go to post with this thing” – might just be an indication of his memory for the last time she was a sure thing more than it is a statement of confidence in it this time around. In 2007, she went from inevitable to indefatigable into a period of incredulousness; she was the leader of a presidential primary run so ruthless and mathematically improbable it makes you wonder if she’s given Mitt Romney a condolence call yet.

Remember that? The desperation and lead-footed feints of the too-long-to-die Clinton campaign? Remember the denial of her most fervent supporters (“Party Unity My Ass!”), who couldn’t believe they’d been outstripped by this newcomer, this stranger with a murky past and murkier ideology? (“Birthism”, it may pain you to remember, started with Hillary die-hards.) He must have cheated somehow. The media had it rigged in his favor from the start, anyway.

It sounds familiar, no? Yet out of that mean-spirited funk rose one of the most popular and visible secretaries of state in modern times. Looking at Hillary’s shift from sore loser to next-in-line, one wonders if the way for the GOP to succeed in beating Clinton is learn from her. There are limits to how much a party can emulate a person, of course. It cannot retire to Chappaqua or grow its hair out.letting agents guaranteed rent

But there are some clues from Hillary’s journey that Republicans – certainly individually, if not as a party – can follow.

1. Start now. Hillary’s speech at the 2008 convention threw all in for Obama and at the same time celebrated the idea of “never stopping”. There’s a tradition of coyness in presidential runs that runs right through to Hillary today, but if the GOP wants to dramatically change its fortunes, why not be dramatic? Encourage hopefuls to announce their intentions, let the American people start to get to know who they are, especially if those contenders put themselves in the public eye via their work and not media appearances. Which brings us to:

2. Create policy, not catchphrases. Clinton gives good speeches. Not great speeches, and she probably realizes that. Her rise as secretary of state hasn’t been on the back of rhetoric (unlike some presidents I could name), but distinct actions. It’s another tradition for would-be candidates to do tours of various thinktanks and conferences to get themselves in the public eye; Hillary has gained popularity by doing most of her work outside of it. This strategy, applied to GOP candidates, would restrict the field to elected officials and government appointees – which might not be a bad idea for the party to consider. (Cough) Herman Cain (cough).

3. You are not your supporters. Or: lead, don’t follow. The Clinton example here is her deft handling of those disgruntled supporters: she praised their loyalty but didn’t exhibit the desire let their loyalty determine her actions. And she didn’t try to bribe or cajole them into staying with her once she started in a direction they didn’t like. This is how the GOP should approach the Tea Party: So long convinced that it is the sole source of conservative “momentum,” the Republican party seems unwilling to risk seeking support form a more, well, stable base.

Really, every one of these strategies has at its heart a single logic: Putting the country’s, or voters’ interests before one’s own. As a candidate for 2008, Hillary’s negatives came from the perception that she was ambitious for the sake of ambition – she started being cool and more electable and more appealing, almost as soon as it became clear her ambitions was secondary to getting things done.

Thus far in our short post-election season, the Republican party has shown little interest in getting things done – and a lot entitlement.

The man behind the austere, industrial Northern landscapes is often characterised as sparely as the “matchstick men” that made him famous.

But LS Lowry, who has only just been honoured with a retrospective at Tate Britain nearly 40 years after his death, was a great deal more fun and sociable than the remote recluse that he was frequently painted as by others.guaranteed rental property

Rare pictures of the artist, who was great friends with the Marshall family who owned the Stone Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, show him larking about on the steps of the gallery, celebrating his 84th birthday and sitting in the office after one of many social occasions.

The artist would visit the Marshalls on his frequent visits to the Seaburn Hotel in Sunderland. Tilly Marshall later chronicled their friendship in Life With Lowry, and her son Simon used to ferry him around the coast where he would collect material (but rarely draw) for his pictures.

Simon Marshall describes Lowry as an elderly relation who became gradually absorbed in their lives having just wandered into the gallery off the street one day.

“Over the years I must have driven him thousands and thousands of miles; to Holy Island, Gretna Green and Portpatrick, where he believed his ancestors came from. I very rarely saw him sketch or work outside,” Simon Marshall wrote recently.guaranteed rental property

“Although he carried a wallet with bits of paper in and might draw something on an envelope as we walked around, he mostly liked to work at home. He was absorbing things as we went, and would then appear at some later stage with a drawing of a place we’d been to, done from memory.”

Simon Marshall is frank about Lowry’s penchant for games which sometimes bordered on the maddening. “He loved repeating himself, and he’d push it to see how far he could go. We’d be driving along in the car and he’d say to me: ‘What happens if the wheel falls off?’ ‘We’ll go in the ditch, Mr Lowry.’ ‘Hmm.’ Ten minutes later: ‘What happens if the wheel falls off?’ and so on,” he said.

“He could be great fun, but he could be awful. He could be exceedingly amusing, but also an absolute little sod. He had some moods where he was not at all nice, but most of the time he was really very pleasant and jolly. He used to say to waitresses in restaurants: ‘Could I have this water diluted?’”

Don’t expect the shrieking at Wimbledon to stop any time soon. The head of the tournament said today that he recognised there was a problem with some loud players, but will not take a lead in stamping it out.guaranteed rental properties

Richard Lewis, the chief executive of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, said that “ideally” the off-putting shrieks on court would be reduced, but claimed it would be difficult to persuade the game’s stars to change their habits.

Many tennis fans complain that the yells detract from their enjoyment of the game, and some players have spoken out against them, but the opposition has had little effect on the shriekers and grunters.

One particularly noisy match took place in SW19 last week between Maria Sharapova, the world number three, and Michelle Larcher De Brito of Portugal, whose shrieks have reached 109 decibels — only slightly quieter than a chainsaw.

Larcher De Brito insisted after the match that it was a common part of the modern game. “People keep going on and on about it,” she said. “I’m not the only one. Many top players that we know and love grunt.”

A survey by The Daily Telegraph of today’s women’s semi-finals using a hand-held decibel meter found that the French player Marion Bartoli, 28, emitted a grunt of 81 decibels — the equivalent of a vacuum cleaner — during her straight-sets victory over Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium. Mr Lewis said: “I think grunting is something that the game recognises ideally that would diminish rather than increase. But I think equally it’s fair to say if you’re a top, world-class player and that’s the way you have competed for 20 years, then I think it’s difficult to force them to change.

“And I think from Wimbledon’s point of view, we are part of the tennis world, and we certainly wouldn’t want to be isolated in the sense of trying to impose a rule that a) would be very difficult to impose because measuring it is such a difficult thing and b) we wouldn’t want to have a completely different rule to the rest of the year.”guaranteed rental properties

In the men’s semi-finals, the problem facing Andy Murray will be not so much the noise made by his opponent as his thundering serves. Standing in the way of a place in the final is Jerzy Janowicz, a 6ft 8ins Pole who has been described as the new “bad boy” of professional tennis.

Janowicz, 22, is known for his John McEnroe-style meltdowns as well as the powerful serves that have earned him the nickname of “the Pole-veriser”.

The woman said to be his girlfriend, Marta Domachowska, 27, arrived at Wimbledon in time for his emotional quarter-final on Wednesday. A star of Polish tennis herself, she recently posed for the country’s edition of Playboy.
